[Docket No. 041126332–5039–02; I.D.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Atka Mackerel in the 

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

Management Area 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closures and 

openings. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed 

fishing for Atka mackerel with gears 

other than jig gear in the Eastern 

Aleutian District and the Bering Sea 

subarea of the Bering Sea and Aleutian 

Islands management area (BSAI). This 

action is necessary to prevent exceeding 

the A Season allowance of the 2006 total 

allowable catch (TAC) of Atka mackerel 

in these areas. NMFS is also announcing 

the opening and closing dates of the first 

and second directed fisheries within the 

harvest limit area (HLA) in Statistical 

Areas 542 and 543. These actions are 

necessary to prevent exceeding the HLA 

limits established for the Central (area 

542) and Western (area 543) Aleutian 

Districts pursuant to the 2006 Atka 

mackerel TAC. 

DATES: The effective dates are provided 

in Table 1 under the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of this temporary 

action. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Josh 

Keaton, 907–586–7228. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

manages the groundfish fishery in the 

BSAI exclusive economic zone 

according to the Fishery Management 

Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea 

and Aleutian Islands Management Area 

(FMP) prepared by the North Pacific 

Fishery Management Council under 

authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act. Regulations governing fishing by 

U.S. vessels in accordance with the FMP 

appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600 

and 50 CFR part 679. 

The A season allowance of the 2006 

TAC of Atka mackerel specified for 

other gear in the Eastern Aleutian 

District and the Bering Sea subarea was 

established as 3,434 metric tons (mt) by 

the 2005 and 2006 final harvest 

specifications for groundfish in the 

BSAI (70 FR 8979, February 24, 2005). 

See § 679.20(a)(8)(ii) and (c)(3)(iii). 

In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i) 

and (d)(1)(ii)(B), the Administrator, 

Alaska Region, NMFS (Regional 

Administrator), has determined that 350 

mt of the 2006 Atka mackerel TAC for 

other gear in the Eastern Aleutian 

District and the Bering Sea subarea will 

be necessary as incidental catch to 

support other anticipated groundfish 

fisheries. Therefore, the Regional 

Administrator is establishing a directed 

fishing allowance of 3,084 mt. In 

accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the 

Regional Administrator finds that this 

directed fishing allowance has been 

reached. Consequently, NMFS is 

prohibiting directed fishing for Atka 

mackerel by vessels using other gear in 

the Eastern Aleutian District and the 

Bering Sea subarea. 

In accordance with 

§ 679.20(a)(8)(iii)(C), the Regional 

Administrator is opening the first 

directed fisheries for Atka mackerel 

within the HLA in areas 542 and 543, 

48 hours after the closure of the Eastern 

Aleutian District and the Bering Sea 

subarea Atka mackerel directed fishery. 

The Regional Administrator has 

established the opening date for the 

second HLA directed fisheries as 48 

hours after the last closure of the first 

HLA fisheries in either area 542 or 543. 

Consequently, NMFS is opening and 

closing directed fishing for Atka 

mackerel in the HLA of areas 542 and 

543 in accordance with the periods 

listed under Table 1 of this notice.
